Why does template customization make the NIC disconnected??

March 30, 2009, 10:48 am

I've been testing template customization with a Win2k3 Enterprise 'gold' template.

Every time I deploy from this template, the newly created VM does not have its NIC set to connect at power on.

How do I fix this??

It does not seem to matter which kind of NIC -- flexible or enhanced vmxnet.

Having to reset the settings every time sort of ruins the whole idea of templates deployment.

 

VC 2.5 u4 and ESX 3.5 u3 -- VIC running on Vista...initial testing seemed to work, but today the NICs won't connect...

 

Thank you, Tom

Servidor Virtual Lento

Amigos como estan no se si sea el foro adecuado pero de pronto me pueden ayudar.

Tendo un servidor esxi 5.1.0 instalado con dos servidores virtuales, un win2008 y un linux.

Mi servidor fisico es un ibm x3500 con discos sas y 12gb de memoria.

Desde ayer el server win 2008 esta trabajando super lento sobre todo en dos aplicaciones que tengo y no le he instalado nada, le aumente la memoria ram al server virtual a 8gb hasta ayer tenia 6gb, pero parece que no me esta tomando los 8gb ya que cuando entro al administrador de tareas de win, en la pestaña rendimiento en la parte de memoria fisica veo que en total dice que tengo 4095, entonces mi duda es aqui no deberia salir algo cercano a los 8000??

 

Por otro lado como puedo ver desde el vsphere client si el servidor virtual esta andando mal o algo asi porque ya me tiene loco esto.

 

espero me puedan ayudar.

Saludos

VMware Workstation 10.x.x.x User Interface Crashing

June 25, 2014, 5:25 pm

I'm having issues with the VMware Workstation User Interface crashing when switching between VMs.  The timing of the UI crash appears to be random, in that it will run fine for a period (sometimes days) and I can switch between VMs without problem but then all of sudden, it will crash.  Once the crash happens once, it reoccurs frequently until I reboot or run a repair using the original install source.  When the UI crashes, I can restart the UI and reconnect to the VMs immediately, as in the VMs remain running after the UI has crashed.

 

I'm currently running version 10.0.2 (build-1744117), however this issue also happened with the previous version 10.0.1.

 

When the crash occurs, there is an entry added to the Windows Application Event Log on the Host OS:

 

Faulting application name: vmware.exe, version: 10.0.2.46408, time stamp: 0x534c700c

Report Id: 4a93d863-fc78-11e3-826c-00268317d0da

Faulting package full name:

and this in the vmware.log of the VM that caused the crash:

Is anyone else experiencing this or similar and/or have any ideas about a root cause/solution?  I came across this post here but no responses as yet - Workstation 10.x.x.x User Interface Crashes when switching VMs

Shared Folders in Fusion slower than in Parallels -- any advice?

August 14, 2007, 12:39 pm

I was a mostly satisfied user of Parallels (version 2.5) but I bought the early bird special license for Fusion and have been trying it out the past few days.

 

One thing I was disappointed with in Parallels was the speed at which file reads and writes from a shared folder happened. I keep my subversion check-out for a company project on my Mac file system and some of the files are Windows-only binaries -- discrete event simulation files for the product Extend.

 

With Parallels, it was slow but usable to double click a file in a shared folder and have the Windows app open it. With Fusion I seem to have to wait 3 or 4 times as long for a double click  to have the app open the file. The file is a 15 meg file so that is a factor. But Parallels could handle files of this size.

 

If I copy the file to my virtual disk, and double click the copy, things are very speedy but I want to keep my files where my Mac subversion client can access them.

 

Is this common experience -- really slow shared folders?

 

Any advice to speed things up? I tried to use Windows file sharing from my Mac rather than Fusion shared folders and it was no better -- might have even been worse. Mapping the share to a drive doesn't help.

 

Maybe this can be improved in the next Fusion release.

Странные рекомендации для золотого образа Horizon View.

Доброго времени суток.

На pubs.vmware множество рекомендаций по тюнингу ОС для золотого образа, который должен стать мастер-имэджем для пула десктопов.

Смущают такие рекомендации как "установите максимальное быстродействие в визуальных эффектах", "установите классическую тему" и т.д., ведь эти настройки применяются только к текущему пользователю. И если тему можно установить локальной или групповой политикой, то параметра для визуального быстродействия я не нашел. В чем суть таких рекомендаций и как их выполнить (тем более что максимальное быстродействие в визуальных эффектах довольно полезная опция)?

Monthly IOPS report for one VM

I'm trying to get a monthly IOPS average/peak for a single VM.

 

 

 

Here's part of the command I'm running:

$statsRead = Get-Stat -Stat virtualdisk.numberreadaveraged.average -Entity $vm -Start (get-date).adddays(-30) -IntervalSecs 60

 

 

 

Any interval greater than 2 minutes results in an error, and anything under 2 minutes ends up being 20 seconds.  Basically, I can only get IOPS for the last hour.  Am I missing something, or is that just the limitation of this counter?

I have been told that in the server there are 2 hardisk but when i open esxi using vsphere client it shows only 1 datastore . I went to the configuration section and clicked storage and tried to add datastore and there also it showed one hardisk . I was then informed that there is another hardisk which probably needs to be partitioned . can you please tell me how to partition secondary hardisk using esxi ( vsphere or cli ) . I cant seem to find a command where i can see physical hardisk if present but i believe there are 2 . Its esxi 5.5.0

2008 R2 VM BSOD after installing Active Directory

Hi,

 

The situation is that I create a linked clone from my template 2008 R2 VM and all is running fine until I install Active Directory / DNS on the VM and DCPROMO and then reboot, at which point I get a BSOD on the guest.  If I install AD/DNS but do NOT DCPROMO then the VM is fine !  Attached is the log file from the machine. 

 

I have MANY other machines as linked clones to the same master image and they all appear to be running fine, but I seem unable to create a new linked clone and install AD on to it

 

Host OS is 2012 R2 Data Center

 

Any ideas?

VmWare ESXi 3.5. Upgrade

Hi everybody,

 

I need to upgrade my ESXi 3.5 to VSphere Hypervisor 5.5.

 

I'd obviously prefer in-place upgrade but my VMs are on NFS and so I could choose an installation from scratch.

 

The question is: May I attach my VMs created in 3.5 (vmx + vmdk etc) in the brand new 5.5? Virtual Machine could have any issues?

 

Thanks.

The risks of running these kinds of things on your production system... everything was fine yesterday but today it just crashes on launch. Tried removing all the support files, e.g. preferences and caches, but no joy. I stupidly upgraded the hardware on my VM's and now I can't get back to Fusion 6 either.

 

Anyone know the magic fix for this?

 

I'm going to try reinstalling TP.

hgfs bug in 10.0.3 (buffer overflow?)

August 5, 2014, 8:01 pm
$

I'm running VMware Workstation 10.0.3 on Fedora 20 (64 bit) with a Fedora 20 (64 bit) guest.  The guest has tools installed from VMwareTools-9.6.2-1688356.tar.gz, with a patch to vmhgfs (attached) to work with the 3.15 kernel. 

 

The problem is that when I try to run GNU autotools (particularly an autoconf-generated configure script) from an hgfs volume, I get garbage (null characters) in the output.  This can be reproduced by using the sample autotools project from http://www.niksula.hut.fi/~mkomu/docs/autohowto.html , un-taring it to an hgfs volume on the guest, running "./autogen.sh" and then "configure".  The output is:

 

./config.status: line 331: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'

./config.status: line 331: `"'

 

This is because line 317 of the config.status that it creates has several hundred null characters in it.  It seems that these characters are inserted after the 8192nd byte of a "HERE doc" shell redirection in the configure script.  This happens when running configure on any autotools-based project on an hgfs volume.  I've tried to reproduce it with a simpler shell script but can't seem to do so repeatably. 

 

I was hoping to share this volume between Fedora and Windows VMs, but I guess I'll have to fall back to samba for now.  Has anybody else seen related issues?

 

Thanks,

Ben

How to use Orchestrator tags to place VM's in folders

August 5, 2014, 10:31 pm
$

Hi guys

 

We currently use orchestrator as our provisioning tool and would like to start using tags that will assist to a VM in a specific folder during creation or post workflow process. The reason behind this is, vCOPS uses the folder structure within vSphere to do reporting on it and it would work hand-in-hand that we can place and report on specific departmental servers if they are placed in the correct folder during creation. The aim is to select a department from a drop-down selection and based on that selection, Orchestrator must then place that VM in the corresponding folder. Is there currently something out there that someone is aware of in the form of a scriptable task perhaps?

 

Any ideas / feedback is welcome

 

 

thank you
